I was excited at the concept, but the excitement didn’t carry past the initial surprise of being able to take things. It was easy to forget you were in a museum and not some novelty pop-up shop. Your observation of the Xeroxed papers was interesting. I hadn’t thought of the stacks as their own alterable piece. It may have been even more interesting if they’d been only stacks of paper rather than being inside boxes. The same could be said for the carbonated water display which was relegated to the wall and missed the opportunity completely to be engaging as a changing sculpture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656991960624569199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-32705478023560471252016-12-12T12:38:04.331-08:002016-12-12T12:38:04.331-08:00I feel that this is a really great review of exact...I feel that this is a really great review of exactly what this exhibit was, and it really resonated with my own feelings about the piece. It felt like a gimmicky experience, and I think you did a really good job explaining why. I wish there were maybe a few more examples of the gimmicky pieces that were there that felt like simple, cheap souvenirs, like the magnets or the sugar pills. Your closing also feels a little awkward to me, like you suddenly just stopped in the middle of a thought. Otherwise though, this is a really great review of this exhibition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071170370623050888noreply@blogger.com
